From the power of Lexus Hybrid Drive to the efficiency of regenerative braking, take a tour through the inner workings of a Lexus Hybrid.
A unique suspension design pairing an independent MacPherson strut front system with a fully independent double-wishbone rear suspension provides enhanced handling and exceptional ride comfort.
With four modes to choose from, CT drivers can transform their ride into a more efficient or exhilarating one with the simple turn of the switch [1].
The lateral performance dampers on the CT were developed by Yamaha to provide additional rigidity to the chassis while also minimizing vibrations. The result: enhanced handling, a more linear steering feel and a ride that’s as comfortable as it is invigorating.
In addition to a combined 42 mpg rating [2], the most of any luxury vehicle [3], the CT also earned SmartWay Elite status, designating it as one of the cleanest vehicles in America.
Pairing ingenuity with efficiency, regenerative braking converts braking energy into electricity to recharge the batteries, while the enhanced Electronically Controlled Braking (ECB) System is lighter, smaller and uses up to 29% less power than our previous regenerative braking system.
